Who We Are: DSI is a premier non-partisan institute designed to assist in advancing the mission critical goals of the United States' Military and Government. Through our high level educational and training summits, conferences, and symposiums we are able to reach across all offices and departments in a fair and balanced manner. We bring together the mission relevant representatives in our neutral forums in order to foster the necessary discussions and debates to help them achieve efficient and effective mission success. In order to maintain our neutrality, we receive no funding or investment for operating costs from any outside organization, group, or individual. COMPLIANT: We adhere to the most current government operating guidelines for non-federal entities. Operating Guidelines: DSI s Symposium directly supports US Government and DoD CBRN priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department's mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time. DSI s Symposium will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission. * The Joint Civil & DoD CBRN Symposium is open to all DoD and Federal employees and is considered a compliant education and training forum (Industry and academia members are charged a fee of attendance) Symposium is CLOSED TO PRESS / NO RECORDINGS General Target Audience: U.S. Military Services, U.S. Government Agencies, Academia, U.S technology Service Providers Attendee General Responsibilities: Program Design & Goal: Personnel Decontamination, Defense Support of Civil Authorities, Biological Identifying, Radiation detection systems, Bio surveillance Research, Explosives detection, Chemical warfare agents.
